Taylor Swift Song Lyrics

The Lucky One

New to town with a made up name in the angel city,

Chasing fortune and fame.

And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream

You had it figured out since you were in school.

Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool

So overnight you look like a sixties' queen.

[Refrain]:

Another name goes up in lights, like a diamonds in the sky

[Chorus]:

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh . . .

Now it's big black cars, and Reviera views,

And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you

And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page.

And they tell you that you're lucky

But you're so confused,

'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used.

And all the young things line up to take your place

[Refrain]:

Another name goes up in lights

You wonder if you'll make it out alive

(Repeat Chorus)

It was a few years later, I showed up here

And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared,

How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out.

They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere,

Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square,

And it took some time, but I understand it now.

[Refrain]:

'Cause now my name is up in lights, but I think you got it right,

(Repeat Chorus)
